‘To Gaius Julius Pholus, chief of police, from Ptolemaeus son of Didymus, clerk of Euhemeria in the division of Themistes. On the 1st of the present month Pauni of the 3rd year of Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Dares son of Ptolemaeus, Seras son of Paes, and Orseus son of Heracleus, called Phelkis, shepherds, having broken into my holding in the area of the village on the western side let loose their sheep upon it and grazed down young barley and sheaves to the amount of 12 artabae of barley. I therefore request you to write that the accused be brought before you for fitting punishment. Farewell.’
